Alarm
bells are ringing at the White House and Pentagon as American
intelligence reports suggest Beijing intends to establish its first
permanent military presence on the Atlantic Ocean in the tiny Central
African country of Equatorial Guinea, raising the prospect that Chinese
warships would be able to rearm and refit opposite the East Coast of the
US.
Equatorial Guinea is a former Spanish colony with a population of 1.4 million and had secured independence in 1968.
In
Equatorial Guinea, the Chinese likely have an eye on Bata, the largest
city on the mainland section of the country, which already has a
Chinese-built deep-water commercial port on the Gulf of Guinea. In the
past two decades, Chinese companies have built 100 commercial ports
around Africa.
In October, US officials tried to persuade
President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and his son and heir apparent,
Vice President Teodoro “Teodorin” Nguema Obiang Mangue, to reject
China’s overtures. President Obiang has ruled the country since 1979.
However,
the US knows it's challenging to get Equatorial Guinea’s favor as it is
seeking help from a country it has pointedly criticized. The US has
accused the Obiang regime of extrajudicial killings, forced
disappearances, torture and other abuses.
In 2004, US Senate
committee issued a report criticizing a Washington-based bank for
turning “a blind eye to evidence suggesting the bank was handling the
proceeds of foreign corruption” in accepting hundreds of millions of
dollars in deposits controlled by Mr. Obiang, his wife and other
relatives.
The US also pursued the allegedly ill-gotten gains of
the president’s son Mr. Obiang Mangue, accusing him of amassing a
fortune of more than $300 million “through corruption and money
laundering” while earning less than $100,000 a year as minister of
agriculture and forestry. Mr. Obiang Mangue called the U.S. ambassador
asking for help clearing his name against what he said were unfair
allegations surfacing in the press. He said he had earned his riches by
winning legitimate government contracts during the country’s oil-fueled
infrastructure boom. Discovery of huge offshore gas and oil reserves in
1996 allowed members of President Obiang's family to spend lavishly on
exotic cars, mansions and other luxuries
Shortly after Principal
deputy U.S. national security adviser Jon Finer visited Equatorial
Guinea in October, Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by phone with
President Obiang, after which Beijing put out a statement highlighting
that “Equatorial Guinea has always regarded China as its most important
strategic partner.”

China’s Yutu II spots ‘mystery hut’ on far side of the moon
China's Yutu IIYutu-2 moon rover has recently spotted a mysterious cube-shaped object on the moon. Photos it sent back to Earth show that the object looks like a little hut and is located on the horizon on the dark side of the moon.
The rover spotted the object on the horizon to the north and roughly 80 meters away during the mission's 36th lunar day, according to a Yutu II diary published by Our Space, a science outreach channel affiliated with the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
After telling scientists on Earth about the discovery, Yutu II is already on its way there to find out what the "hut" really is. It is expected to reach its destination after two to three lunar days.
The Africans are learning well from the fate of the Native American Indians and the beleaguered Muslims.
The Native American Indians suffered the greatest human catastrophe at the hands of the Whites, and are living to regret their trust in the White men. There are three quotations that have stuck in my mind from quotes given by Native American Indians on various websites:
1) 'The White Men came with fake holistic intentions bearing the Bible in hand. We closed our eyes and when we next opened our eyes again, we had the Bible in hand, but we lost our land'. This is an undeniable factual case of White Men lying, cheating and stealing.
2) The Native American Indians told us in no uncertain terms that 'White Men spoke with forked tongues' This has never been proven wrong. In fact it has been proven to be getting worse.
3) A Native American Indian has this comment in a blog that 'when you see two fishes fighting in a pool of water, look around and you will see a White Men standing nearby'. What this means is that the White Men had created all the fighting among others and is waiting nearby just to reap the benefits.
The White Men tried early to do the same to the Muslims, but the Muslims are no innocent Indians waiting to be slaughtered. they fought back till this day. Now the White Men is playing the holistic hand in a new format, with so much fake love and caring for the Muslims in Xinjiang. Hope the Muslims there do not close their eyes like the Native American Indians.
Failing to do what they have done to the Native American Indians against the Muslims, the Whites are again ganging up for another attempt to put China down. What have they been doing so far - drugging, attempting division of China from within, trade war, tech war, sanctioning companies from doing business with China in high tech, coaxing and threatening allies and tail waggers to counter China. Even trying tp persuade former enemies to do their dirty work. All but Japan followed the pipe piper. They have yet to try the Taliban.
Now, may I ask are the White Men getting worse in their madness? The answer is obvious. By the way, who else also speaks in forked tongues?
Breaking News: Indian Defence chief General Bipin Rawat died in Russian-supplied military helicopter crash as Putin visits India !
Russia is unlikely to use India together to bring China down even with military ties. Not at this juncture.
It is obvious that Russia needs China's support, not India's, against the USA. Moreover China is also a rising important customer for Russian oil, gas and food.
Yes, Russia and India have military ties for years now, particularly in weapon sales, but I believe Russia does not trust India completely, even to forge a military alliance against China, just yet.
India, unlike China, has relatively good ties with the USA, unlike China, so an alliance with India against the USA is unlikely, troublesome and unsure. India is playing both sides and as I always say, India, in any situation, always wants the cake and eat it if possible.
Would Russia take the risk of bringing down China and use India as support against the USA? Not to my mind in today's conflict brewing in Eastern Europe.
Unfortunately some silly Asean leaders are willingly offering themselves to be doped and conned by the white men. Other than fabricating lies about non existent genocide in Xinjiang and crying crocodile tears for the Muslims in Xinjiang, had the white men done anything for the good of Muslims other than invading their countries, stealing their oil, massacring them and turning them into refugees fleeing to all corners of the world when their countries were bombed to ruins? Asked the Iraqis, Syrians, Libyans, Somalians, Yemenis, Iranians, Afghans, and of course the stateless Palestinians, their land taken and given to the Israelis by the white men.
And Blinken got the cheek to come visiting Indonesia and Malaysia, the two biggest Muslim states in Asean, to ask them to join the anti Muslim Americans to protect the Muslims in Xinjiang they alleged, lied, that they were being massacred, genocided.
And when white men came a calling, especially the Secretary of State of USA, the Asean leaders all gone ga ga and forget about the lies and crimes committed by the white men against the Muslims. And don't be surprised that Blinken would be received warmly and the two Muslim states would join the Americans to go against China, forgetting what happened in the Middle East, what happened to their Muslim brothers, what happened to the poor and homeless Palestinians, what happened to the Afghans.
Blinken is coming, white god is coming. We are so honoured that the white god thinks highly of us, and wanting our help to fight China. We are so important, we are so honoured. We must join the white gods to fight China. We are invited by the white gods.
That Russia and China are together is the reason why the USA has not started the war against China or Russia.
Fighting two wars on two fronts is a tall order for the USA. They are in a dilemma. To do it now is not a sure win scenario. To dither is to waddle into 'impossible to win' territory with Russia and China building up their military capabilities and even surpassing the USA in some areas.
Where and when will SS3 start? Ukraine perhaps? It cannot be avoided!
It is so pathetic that the Whites are even using the Olympics to politicalize and publicize their evil intentions of demonizing China. Who really cares about them boycotting the Beijing Olympics? Have they got nothing else to fall upon and just clutching at straws like a drowning man?
Have they even been invited yet is the question? That Canadian doggie PM is now saying he is boycotting the Beijing Olympics, following the USA and UK. As diplomats, not as competitors mind you.
Does the Canadian doggie PM thinks China will invite him after what happened with Meng? Laughable and creating self importance for himself. Shameless!
When Blinken visits Malaysia and Indonesia wearing the save Muslim badge on his chest, hope they invite him to pray to Allah in the mosque to test his sincerity.
And also ask him to save the Palestinians and return the land to them.
The whites have been exploiting and suppressing the Muslims for centuries, playing them to fight each other until their countries totally in a mess.
Is this what they meant by caring for the Muslims, protecting the interest of Muslims?
How many more Muslims are they killing everyday? Which Muslim country are they going to invade next in the name of terrorism?
Unfortunately the Muslims cannot see the joke is on them. Played by the white gods for centuries and still believing in the white gods.
Believe in their words or in their deeds?
Blinken is not visiting Malaysia and Indonesia to pray to Allah. That will be the last thing he will do. He is there to spread poison.
You do not have to guess the motive. When Satan visits, it is never about love or saving souls but all about destruction, which will undoubtedly follow.
